The 2018 Lexus LS 500 is the latest version of the brand's flagship sedan. It replaces the LS 460, which has been on deep clearance for months and has practically sold out.

The LS 500 hasn't arrived just yet but dealers are taking pre-orders. The updated vehicle boasts more luxury features than ever before, and the F Sport variant offers loads of sporty flair for buyers.

The current offers expire February 28, 2018. Promotions may improve as Presidents' Day approaches, so stay tuned for updates.

Cash discounts:

As expected, there are no cashback incentives yet for the LS 500. On the other hand, Lexus is offering rebates worth up to $8,000 on the outgoing LS 460. That's the most we've seen over the past year.

Like most Lexus models, all versions of the LS are eligible for either a $750 College Rebate or Military Rebate. The College offer is available to buyers who've graduated within the past two years or plan to within the next six months.

The Military offer is available to active duty personnel and those within one year of retirement. It can also be extended to members of the same household. See your dealer for details.

The current financing offer:

Lexus Financial is offering promotional financing starting at 2.9-percent APR for up to 72 months.

That's not particularly good, but your local dealer may be able to offer competitive rates leveraging their relationships with banks. Oftentimes, these will be better rates than what you might be able to get normally.

We think it's a matter of time before offers improve. During special sales events, we sometimes see rates fall to as low as 0.9-percent APR.

Lease offers:

Unfortunately, Lexus hasn't posted lease deals yet for the 2018 LS 500. That should change once the sedan begins trickling in to dealer lots in the coming weeks.

2018 Lexus LS 500: Model Preview

Model Preview

The Lexus LS will be completely redesigned for the 2018 model year. Apart from a new platform and updated engine, the vehicle's name will change from the current LS 460 and become the LS 500. As the new flagship sedan for the brand, the car will join the soon-to-be-released LC 500 coupe in a two-pronged approach to wooing buyers at the upper end of the luxury segment.

The overall appearance of the LS 500 gains some of the sleek, low-slung appeal of the LC, sitting 0.6 inches lower than the outgoing LS 460. The car is over 200 pounds lighter than before thanks to an increased use of aluminum and ultra-high tensile steel.

Although its front spindle grille bears a close resemblance to most Lexus models, the vehicle's design involves a number of unusual touches. Look closely, and you may notice 6 side windows— both the front and rear door glass has been split into two. The vehicle's moonroof will also now be an outer-slide design to accommodate the vehicle's new profile.

Inside the cabin, drivers will benefit from a quieter driving experience thanks to active noise cancellation technology. The car will also offer a softer ride with an available air suspension that has the ability to automatically raise the vehicle and adjust the front seat bolsters to "welcome" drivers.

Under the hood, the big news is the addition of a new twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine based on the automaker's experience in Formula 1 racing. It will produce 415 hp with 442 lb-ft of torque, a sizeable bump from the 386 hp and 367 lb-ft in the V8 of the outgoing LS 460. Lexus says the new LS will go from 0-60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds with rear-wheel drive.

Also new is a 10-speed automatic transmission, a first for the brand. Previously, the LS was offered with an 8-speed system. Interestingly, Lexus says the gearbox has been designed to offer shifting speeds that it says will rival dual-clutch transmissions. Fuel economy figures have not yet been announced.

In terms of safety, the new LS is expected to rank highly thanks to the automaker's Safety System + suite of driver assistance technology. With an optional Advanced Safety Package, the car will offer pedestrian detection with the unique ability to avoid collisions while staying within the same lane. Expect to see the full range of assistance features like adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking and more.

Stay tuned for a full review closer to launch.
